The Criminality Of Facebook Exposed: Facebook Is Abusive. It Is Time To Divorce It!

I was out and about just the other day, and I went into a local new store outlet to look around... I did not purchase anything, but one of the store clerks was busy getting people "signed up" on the store's Facebook page and approached me to join in.. .She claimed that if I did, I would get some "store coupons" for future purchases... BUT when I told this individual that I did NOT have a "Facebook" account and was not interested in ever having one, the look on her face was priceless... She was stunned and said to me "Well, everyone has a Facebook account, and you are the "first" (!) that she had encountered that day without one! .. Lets face it, for I was stunned that so many people are still this stupid to be part of that fraud "social network" and I figured it was time to attack that fraud here once again with a brand new article...

Just today, I came across a very important article from the "Register" online news site out of the United Kingdom, at www.theregister.co.uk, that absolutely tears this fraud of "Facebook" apart with facts that show that it is NOT a "social network" at all but is in fact a criminal enterprise for nefarious actions against the people stupid enough to have an account! Here is that article, entitled "Facebook Is Abusive. It's Time To Divorce It" and I have further thoughts and comments to follow:

Facebook is abusive. It's time to divorce it

And lament that early browsers gave up on web site authoring tools and created monsters

Every relationship has its rough edges, places where actions scrape, and through constant repetition, rub raw. Those tender spots can heal if left alone and if the parties are wiling to listen. But where the irritation continues, this raw spot becomes a wound that never closes, forcing a choice between continuing pain and a painful separation.

It all began so promisingly with Facebook. Back in 2007 it presented itself as the social calendar of America’s elite universities. That Ivy League allure made it irresistible to the students at America’s second-and-third-tier colleges, so as Facebook lowered its velvet rope, millions, then tens of millions crowded in.
It seemed innocuous, almost trivial: What are you doing? Who are you seeing? What are your favourite things? Sharing the trivia of life and was fun.

But only because we were yet to understand that everything we entered was recorded by Facebook, all of it analysed, all of it compared against everyone else sharing all of their personal trivialities. Too late we realised that everything we shared was more useful to Facebook than it was to our friends. So while we revelled in the joy of finding new friends, Facebook got the deeper satisfaction of building a complete portrait of an individual, inside and out.

We were told Facebook needed these portraits to monetise our activities and that seemed fair enough because someone had to pay for all of the hard work of the enormous machinery that helps everyone everywhere share everything important to them, right?

Facebook could say this with a straight face because, by the end of the first decade of the 21st century, we had turned our back on the great promise of the Web. The very first Web commercial browsers, such as Netscape Navigator, made it easy for users to create their own Web pages. That should have been enough to create a galaxy of personal and unique sharing websites.

Yet Netscape (and Microsoft, which eventually triumphed against the upstart) never provided the server infrastructure to host those pages - a skill far beyond the average Web surfer. So the promise of a Web built by everyone for everyone got lost in the rush to a commercial Web favouring browsing and buying over creating and sharing.

When Facebook came along, offering a free and easy-to-use outlet for a decade’s pent-up demand to share, of course we leapt at it, signing on the dotted line without bothering to read the fine print. The devil’s in those details.

Earlier this month, news emerged that executives from Facebook's Australian tentacle claimed the social has the ability to create emotional profiles of its users, even to detect and target vulnerable teenagers. Which suggests we’ve paid a lot more than we anticipated for this ‘free’ sharing service. We’ve handed over a bit of our autonomy, sold a corner of our souls.

Facebook is emphatically not a free and open platform for sharing. It’s more like the online equivalent of a Venus Fly Trap, luring us in with sweet nectar, only to suddenly snap shut, then slowly digesting and monetising everything nutritional we've fed it.

Everyone who uses Facebook is being emotionally monitored. That’s what Facebook does. Anyone who uses Facebook can be emotionally manipulated. That’s the nature of this beast, and while Facebook denies they use their extraordinary power malevolently, they have before, and it will remain a constant temptation for them. We are protected only by their good graces, a condition that should make us all quite uncomfortable.

What, then, is to be done? Too many people have invested too much of themselves and their communities to contemplate departing Facebook. This is Facebook’s great trick - it’s become a sort of digital narcotic that its most habituated users simply need to survive.

Yet if we don’t break the habit, if we keep feeding this beast our most intimate feelings and inner thoughts, knowing that these can be weaponised and turned against us at any moment, aren’t we willingly signing over all the rest of our souls?
We need an alternative, a migration path that makes the exit from Facebook seamless and joyful. Many have tried to do this, but no one has made that experience easy and painless enough to satisfy.

People have to be convinced of the need to change before they’ll move on. But if what we know now is insufficient to inspire a transition away from Facebook, what will it take?

Someone I know recently packed all of his earthly belongings into his sedan, then shared the photo. Sixteen years of marriage had ended, and he had to begin again. Although he felt sad and lonely, things could not go on as they had, and he took this for a new beginning, a time to heal old wounds. We can change, he seemed to be saying. We just have to be willing to try. ®

NTS Notes: Yes, I fully agree with this article that it is time to "divorce" Facebook and be rid of it entirely in our lives..

People are truly suckers out there it seems... And most simply do not get it in regards to this criminal enterprise called "Facebook".... It is not a benevolent "social network" as it has always claimed to be, but is absolutely malevolent and its original program was based on an Israeli spy program used to gather information about the Gentiles... The Jewish pricks behind that original program could not make it work, but one of their Mossad agents, Mark Zuckerberg, went to them and said that he could sell it to the stupid Goyim out there as a "social network" and the gullible fools would give their information for free!

The real shocking thing that I have found is how Facebook rather than being used as a social network for searching out friends and colleagues and for communication has instead been used to program and manipulate its users.. And yes, this indeed shows the intense gullibility of people out there that they have become "dependent" on this "network" rather than use their own common sense.... It has become in many cases an addiction to its manipulated users and this is the real travesty of this so called "social network".....

I again must ask my readers that if you do have a "Facebook" account to close the damn thing immediately and absolutely have nothing to do with this fraud "social network"... It has been used to manipulate stupid people for too long and it is indeed time to divorce the damn thing..

And about that new store wanting Facebook users to "like them" so that they can get them coupons for their products? No thank you, for if this is how that store wants to operate, I will take my business elsewhere..

Two to three years ago someone recommended to me that I get a Facebook account so I looked into it. I read every word in the Terms Of Use Agreement and I found something very interesting that most users seem oblivious to. Facebook has the right under the agreement to alter any text posting anyway they want to. The individual making the posting has no legal control over it. Alarm bells went off in my mind right then. I knew right then that some intelligence and/or law enforcement agency was behind it. It can be used to plant any evidence on anybody anytime they want to. There have actually been several lawsuits instituted against them in the United States over them altering peoples postings in such a way that it has caused problems. None of the suits went anywhere because by signing the T.O.U. Agreement the plaintiffs had given up the right to control the content of their postings.

f-book? Proud to say that, "I never joined, never will be."To me the "agenda" was transparent.Who doesn't want "free stuff" in this over consumptive culture? Who doesn't like to flaunt their vanity now and again? Who might want to rekindle a romance? etc.Who might f-book sell their compiled data to? What a brilliant way to fine tune advertising demographics. When you can tell Madison Ave. etc that 18 year old virgins tend to prefer A.____B.____ & C._____ Whereas promiscuous goth girls tend to gravitate towards D.____ E.____ & F.____. Well, you get the idea.When you're not paying for the product, you ARE the product.
